Let , define the tortoise coordinate by , and set the advanced time . Since , substitution gives
These are Ingoing Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates; all coefficients are regular at the event horizon .
Outside the ingoing null shell the enclosed mass is , so use the ingoing Ingoing Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates
This is the Schwarzschild metric of mass , regular across and valid for on the exterior side of the shell.
Define the ingoing coordinate
Then and
This is the higher-dimensional analogue of Ingoing Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates. Its metric and inverse are regular at , including when the zero is degenerate. A gauge transformation removes the singular radial term in the transformed potential, leaving the regular representative . These expressions analytically extend the spacetime through the future outer horizon.
Since and ,
Substitution into the metric gives
These are Ingoing Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates. Every coefficient is finite at , and the determinant of the block is . Thus the apparent singularity there in Schwarzschild coordinates is a coordinate singularity; the metric extends smoothly across the Schwarzschild event horizon.
